Hey everyone, It’s been a long time, but I thought I’d drop in to say that I’ve created a new blog! I have no idea what I’ll be doing over there, but feel free to follow over @ttbret if you’d like!  
This blog holds a lot of sentimental value for me. I was able to create so many wonderful, lasting friendships here, and even met the love of my life, so it will remain here as an archive. I want to clarify though that I’m no longer interacting with or producing HP content, and instead producing original stories of my own!  
You can also find me on these platforms: 
Patreon
TikTok
Instagram
YouTube
Twitter
Thank you all for such an incredible journey! 
LOVES!
-TT

After seven years of friendship, seven years of creating queer love stories together, @sirussly and I got married, and it was the most perfect day either of us could have asked for. Jess is my best friend, my partner, my love, my companion, my favorite, and I can’t believe I finally get to call them my wife. I’m so grateful to have a partner that loves unconditionally, someone who learns and grows by my side. I love this beautiful person, and although we’ve already started our journey together, I can’t wait to start this next chapter. We met here on tumblr, and although I don’t post here anymore, I had to share this happy moment. ❤️

The Royal Archive -  A Tribute to @siriussly-serious
Tumblr media
Jay’s friend and fellow drag king Oliver Assets has set up a DropBox archive that anyone can view and anyone can add photos, video and memories to. It’s not got too much in it at the moment, because everyone is having difficulty processing everything with the lack of information and most don’t feel ready to sort through photos and video yet. The archive isn’t going anywhere, however, so save these links and you can go back whenever.
The link to view the archive: https://tinyurl.com/theroyalarchive The link to add to the archive: https://tinyurl.com/royalarchiveupload
When you upload to the archive, it will show the file name to everyone. This means that you can provide a caption of sorts if you rename your files before uploading them. You can also provide a name to upload them under (you don’t need an account or to log in so can put any name) which means that within each folder they will be organised with all of your submissions together. Once submitted, you cannot edit or delete anything from the archive so make sure you want it public forever.
I understand that a lot of our memories on here of Jay are difficult to share in such a setting. Some gifs can stand alone, but some of the most poignant need the context of the posts they were made for. To tackle this, I’ve created our own archive of sorts, which will be detailed in this post here.

There is a wider archive being collected for @siriussly-serious (which you can read about here) but because of the nature of gif RP and Tumblr, I’ve also created a way for us to share our favourite posts and memories of Jay in one place.
So the idea is that I’ve made a Google Doc which contains links to a number of Jay’s posts. The title of each post has a comment thread attached to it. You can click the title or click the comment thread on the right to add your own comment about that particular post. You can copy in your original tags, write a story about the impact it had on you, or just share how it made you feel. No thought is too big or too small, but do bare in mind that anyone can see this. Also please note that when you comment, it will display the full name of the account you are logged in as. Due to this, if you wish to comment under a different name or anonymously, you can dm me or drop in my ask box.
This Google Doc is a work in progress, but that’s because I need you guys to help me complete it. If Jay’s blog has a tagging system, I don’t understand it so it’s hard to find what I’m looking for. I’ve started going through the blog systematically, but that’s going to take a while so I’m hoping that enough of us can search our own tags for reblogs to find what we want. There’s not many posts on there at the moment, so if you have one you want added, please send me the link and I’ll put it in.
So here’s the link to the Memories and Stuff Google Doc:

CW: Loss, bereavement
I was hoping to have more information before I made this post, so apologies for that. The news is starting to seep onto the platform though, as people share tributes as a way to process their own grief, so I think it’s time.
@siriussly-serious (he/they), mostly known here as Jay but also as Blu, Royale (in drag) and Jaxon, has passed away. Little is known at this point, other than that he was missing since Monday (10th May), reported as missing to the police on Wednesday (12th May) and found yesterday (15th May). This isn’t the right place for speculation, so I will have more to say when I have more information.
Although he hasn’t been active on the platform for a long time, Jay was a much loved member of the HP RP community. He was particularly an inspiration for LGBTQ+ creators and POC, going out of his way to encourage and promote anyone who felt they weren’t good enough or didn’t belong. He had so much love, which he handed out freely and sincerely to anyone and everyone who needed it. He created Found, a ridiculously ambitious project which I was privileged enough to be a part of, and which he was unfortunately unable to see through the way he desperately wanted to. Jay would want me to tell you he was 6ft7, everyone was welcome to the gun show and the cheaper and higher percentage your rose wine is, the better. He wouldn’t want me to gush about what an amazing singer, performer, drag artist, RPer, artist, writer, Muddy, creative and friend he was, but tough shit mate, come and stop me. He loved cheap rose, gin, rum, milkshakes, white chocolate, Beyonce, drag kings, queers being queer, people living their best life, Hamilton, cuddles, sandalwood incense and salt lamps (but not when he wasn’t allowed to lick them). So if you want to celebrate him in your own way, there’s some ideas for you. Just stay away from whisky and any other kind of chocolate. No thank you, ma’am.
I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time in person with Jay over the last 3 years, but to those who never met him, your grief is just as valid. Your friendship was real, your love and loss is real. He loved you, he was proud of you every day you went out into a world that tries to tell you you’re broken or not enough. You are enough, and Dad is watching over you.
Jay had a large online presence, particularly in the drag king community, so I’m sure there will be some online tributes and possibly events. I will reblog this post adding information as I get it, including any tributes and donation information for those who can and would like to.
Rest in Power, Jay. It won’t be the same without you.

hey Tonks? How many people here do you already know? And more importantly, how many people here are you NOT somehow related to?

I think Remus is more than familiar with your family. He was good friends with Sirius, weren't you?

Moody: Speaking of, as an official member of the Order, you’re now privy to a highly classified piece of information.

You're having too much fun there, Nymphadora. Don't tell me you still keep your wand in your back pocket? Better Aurors than you have lost buttocks because they weren't PAYING ATTENTION!

You two have something in common! Remus' shirt also matches his hair. You maybe have a lot more in common than you think?

Constant vigilance Mr. Lupin! Tonks... This is a mission prep not some speed-dating event or whatever you kids do these days.

Remus! Your new partner coordinated her shirt with her hair. That's pretty impressive, and she's really pretty, don't you think?
